Massachusetts School Librarians for Instructional Technology Licensure

UPDATE--on June 14, 2011, I requested higher education status . I'm not sure whether I should have done that or K-12 status. We are all K-12 people researching higher ed programs, but we don't have students here. Let's see what happens.

Why this wiki?

• To gather and share information about programs leading to the Mass DESE IT license
• To gain experience in using Web 2.0 technology as a platform for true collaboration.
• What else would you like to see here?

Where to start?

• Let's introduce ourselves. Click on 'introductions' to the left.
• Create pages for other IT licensure programs you know of.
• Add information to existing program pages.
• Use the discussion option on the page for each program to ask questions, comment on your experience, and share impressions.
• These are just suggestions to get us off the ground. Please see 4th bullet under 'What else to know.'

What else to know?

• We are hosted by Google's Wikispaces--the free version.
• For the first 30 days--until July 12, 2011--we are private, meaning editing and viewing is by invitation only. After that, we must choose to be protected (invited members can edit, everyone can view) or public.
• Individual levels of involvement with this wiki is whatever each of us wants it to be. No pressure! After all, it's summer.
• Wiki creator is Carrie Tucker. Although I opened the wiki, I don't want to direct traffic and call the shots. I hope we all just chip in to add and organize the content as we see fit. Goal is a truly collaborative effort that takes on a life of its own.
